Thank you. Saved it and printed it out -
In testing the switch it doesn't seem to matter which pole is powered, with the key Off the other 2 are both cold, with the key On they are hot - in either of the 3 configurations.
Ironically, both links posted for the OP contained the same wiring diagram from the same site. How he chooses to wire his switch/truck is now his option since he tested his switch (as suggested) and knows what that the terminals do.

I would caution the OP against running excessive amperage through a vingage switch and consider integrating a relay into the circuit(s) coming off the switch should he deviate from the stock wiring and accessories and load.
